Celebrated Kenyan musician Wahu Kagwi on Saturday, August 19 emotionally recalled losing her unborn babies as she struggled to get a third child.
In a post on her social media accounts, Wahu, a mother and a wife penned a painful encounter when she lost her child back in 2018.
However, it is during pain and tears that humans find unfathomable joy. Today her youngest daughter Shiru is ten months old.
“But surely and steadily, Shiru and I progressed along the pregnancy journey. And here we are now, with a cute little 10-month-old who’s brought so much joy and happiness to our home,” Wahu celebrated her daughter.
Wahu revealed the heart-breaking experience of how she had lost her second pregnancy in one year.
“Earlier that week, I had lost a Pregnancy. This was the second pregnancy I had lost, with the first one being earlier that same year.
It hurt like hell. I’m looking at the words I wrote here, and it doesn’t begin to compare even slightly to how bad it hurt & it hurt for very long in some ways, I think it still hurts,” the mother recalls.
Moreover, she went on to recall how she had to be strong for her second-born daughter who was still young, to comprehend what was happening.
“Hearing a heartbeat, little tummy flatters and then going back and being told the little one is no more. My goodness. I remember Tumiso coming into our room the day I received the news, because my eyes were puffy and red from all the crying.
I can’t remember what necessary lie I told her, but I remember thinking be strong, you’re scaring her,” Wahu wrote on Facebook.
Wahu Kagwi Message after Losing Pregnancy
On May 3, 2018, the artiste shared a cryptic message depicting pain.
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of darkness, I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and staff they comfort me” – excerpt from Psalms 23,” her message read.
She went on to share encouraging messages with her fans.
“Difficult times will come for sure. This is the nature of life. But the Guarantee that God gives us as His kids is that when they do, He is right there with us, comforting us and showing us the way out of the dark space, and into the green pastures. So, fear not child of God.
Cast all your burdens unto Jesus, for He truly does care for you. I’m not sure how long after I conceived, because it was the last thing on my mind. Oh, the joy and also the fear, the happiness and also the anxiety that came with the news,” Wahu Kagwi wrote.

Consequently, Wahu Kagwi shared that later that year, she did some tests and the doctors told her that her hormonal levels had changed and so getting pregnant naturally was almost impossible.
The doctors had advised her to seek medical intervention, which was not a guarantee that she would get pregnant.
“It happens as a woman gets older…but it’s hard to hear, especially if you really want a baby…and I really did want one.”
The musician shared how she chose to trust God for new life rather than seek medical help.
“But that said, I chose not to go for any intervention. I Couldn’t imagine trying so hard, only to lose the pregnancy again, I couldn’t bear the thought of it. Instead, I said if God so wishes for me to get pregnant, I will naturally.”

Not Giving up
Additionally, Wahu Kagwi watched years pass and was now forced to try make peace with the fact that she might never have another child happen.
In February 2022, she penned this message as a consolation to herself and others.
“If you are waiting on God for a child, may He hear your prayer, Amen.”
The mother of three said that trying to ‘let go’ of her dream of being a mum of three became the beginning of her journey of gratitude.
“To anyone out there on their knees for a baby, God hears you, he knows your heart and he hears your cries. He will answer you in His time and Gods time is the best time. Much love from mama gals,” Wahu Kagwi wrote.
